Lost and found and furnace discovery in Bloomfield
Fishermen lost 30 fish, a pole bent as a tugging figure drew in a strange catch. A jar of 5,000 pennies spilled, sparking a coin scramble. 6,500 coins eventually counted by jeweler E C Spilman as a couple paid for their silver. Workmen unearthed an old cast iron furnace beneath Hamburg Methodist church basement, with little rust on the iron and pipes still decent though the building dates to 1902.
